I remember the look on his dear face as he told me “I love you.”
I can see myself, heartbroken, saying that I loved him too.
I remember that I held his hand while he whispered “Goodbye, dear.”

Do you remember love?
It was so long ago;
Yet I remember dearest one,
And I want you to know.

A dainty cup and saucer grew upon a stem.
And pretty little ruffles adorned the both of them.
The China set was yellow and gently washed by rain—
Of course by April showers the cup is filled again.

But not quite black and white—
When rain descends to wash away
The darkness and the light.
...
The sun shone down through the window—
I thought I saw you there.
But it was just a memory
The light put out with care.

Thousands upon thousands are slain
Each year, are killed in cruel, cold blood.
Thousands cry out, but to no avail—
They are attacked with cruelest hate.
